ECW icon and WWF superstar The Blue Meanie joins the guys as we take not only a deep dive into the event itself, but a peak behind the curtain into the leadup, the WrestleMania Rage Party, his involvement in WrestleMania, icons who were involved in and around the show, and so much more on this episode. We'll hear behind-the-scenes stories from the Meanie, from his times going to WrestleMania as a kid to being a part of the event in his own hometown.

2 hr 9 min - REWIND: WWE WrestleMania 30 Deep Dive
Recorded 3/12/21. Ep. 276.
...
This week, the guys deep dive into what Nick thinks is the greatest WrestleMania of all-time. In 2014, WWE backed into a great show with a great story heading into it in Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H. It paid off beautifully in the end. Unfortunately, that wouldn't last, but it doesn't take away from the fact that for the first time in a very, very long time - WWE did the right thing! Join us as we deep dive into all the happenings of WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans, discuss the advent of the WWE Network and its future on Peacock, and more!
